Norwich 1900.
Mr Vanderbilt is a self-made man with secrets. No one seems to know him well, not his friends, not his servants.

Then a stranger appears who knows all about Vanderbilt’s dark past. With his arrival, Vanderbilt is forced to face his demons and finds himself in fear for his very life.

Colonel Bainbridge stumbles into the middle of a mystery that began a whole continent away. He has the riddle of a dead man back from an ignoble grave to solve, and a killer to catch.

But his mind is distracted by his own secrets and the discovery of a new lead in the murder of his late detective partner has him chasing shadows.

Who is stalking Colonel Bainbridge and his niece, determined to prevent them from unravelling the mystery of the shooting of Houston Fairchild? And how far will they go to keep the truth from being told?
